Marlaska sends more immigration police to Ceuta to speed up the expulsion of 5,000 migrants
Some twenty specialist agents are joining the six already in the city. The minister also announced 50 new personnel to “guarantee citizen security” on the streets.
Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced on Thursday the arrival in Ceuta of around twenty agents from the Central Brigade for Aliens and Borders of the National Police to speed up the bureaucratic procedures necessary to expel the 5,000 irregular migrants who, he acknowledged, still remain in the city after the massive entry on 30 July.
The agents are joining another team of six agents from the Central Unit for Expulsions and Repatriations (UCER) who arrived in the city hours after the migratory crisis erupted with the sole aim of supporting the Ceuta staff in the tasks of filiation, registration and documentation of the adults remaining in the city in order to proceed with their return to Morocco. “The vast majority will return to Morocco as soon as possible,” he stressed.
